Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 whole lemon
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 cups baby spinach
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
Drizzle the salmon fillets with olive oil and rub evenly over the surface.
Season each fillet with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Zest the lemon and sprinkle the zest over the fillets.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice of one half over the salmon.
Chop the fresh dill and sprinkle it generously over the fillets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is baking, rinse the baby spinach and divide it onto serving plates.
Once the salmon is done, place each fillet on top of the bed of spinach.
Garnish the dish with the remaining half of the lemon, cut into wedges, to be served alongside the salmon for extra flavor.
